Our Review

San Francisco’s Counting Crows’ debut album was a classic rock radio programmer’s dream. Finally, here was a collection of hook-heavy tunes delivered by a singer who’d studied his Dylan-Van Morrison-Jagger phrasings and whose backing ensemble knew how to judiciously apply organ, piano, acoustic and electric guitar to a no-nonsense backing groove. The formula seems so simple and obvious, but then why are there so few albums as immediately impressive as 1993’s August and Everything After? The answer here is songwriting. The album contains an overabundance of magical ideas, from the opening, unwinding drama of “Round Here” that suggests Springsteen at his most lyrical and theatrical, through the Band-Van Morrison jaunt of “Omaha,” the rollicking yet yearning “Mr. Jones” and the moody life-or-death introspection of “Perfect Blue Buildings,” “Anna Begins” and “Sullivan Street.” Counting Crows were a group who looked to do it all. The confidence can be heard in the band’s loose swagger and its intricate weave of accordion textures that never tip the group too far into the Americana graveyard where many traditionalists accidentally tilt their fortunes.

Customer Reviews

Unbelievable... (5 stars)
You know that feeling you get when you break up with someone and you spend a week in a crazy, deep funk, wondering how you’ll ever fill that empty space in your soul?

Put on your Ipod and take a walk in the rain with these guys. You may not feel better, but at leas

not just an album (5 stars)
Most of the time when someone is excited about a record, they tell you way too much and beg you to listen to it, and it never fulfills your expectations. You listen to it and look at your friend and say, "it's good," and that's it. This album has such depth and definition from everything else being produced at the time, that I have no place in being that friend that ruins the experience. It has such meaning and emotion in every sou

The best album of the 90's (5 stars)
A lot of credit and praise gets thrown on Nirvana's "Nevermind," and it is certainly warranted, but this album, the debut of one of rock's great poets, is onthe whole a better album. The haunting lyrics and lilting melodies give way to lush texture and layered instrumentation. There is no doubt that every one of the members of this band is a gifted, insightful musician, but it really is Duritz that steals the show. His singing cann

Genre: Rock

With their angst-filled hybrid of Van Morrison, the Band, and R.E.M., Counting Crows became an overnight sensation in 1994. Only a year earlier, the band was a group of unknown musicians, filling in for the absent Van Morrison at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony; they were introduced by an enthusiastic Robbie Robertson. Early in 1993, the band recorded their debut album, August and Everything After, with T-Bone Burnett. Released the fall, it was a dark and somber record, driven by the morose...
